Sierra/SolidMechanics 4.52 Goodyear Specific
Sierra/SolidMechanics (Sierra/SM) is a Lagrangian, three-dimensional finite element analysis code for solids and structures subjected to extensive contact and large deformations, encompassing explicit and implicit dynamic as well as quasistatic loading regimes. This document supplements the primary Sierra/SM 4.52 User's Guide, describing capabilities specific to Goodyear analysis use cases, including additional implicit solver options, material models, finite element formulations, and contact settings.

Sierra/SolidMechanics 4.52 Verification Tests Manual
Presented in this document is a small portion of the tests that exist in the Sierra/SolidMechanics (Sierra/SM) verification test suite. Most of these tests are run nightly with the Sierra/SM code suite, and the results of the test are checked versus the correct analytical result. For each of the tests presented in this document, the test setup, a description of the analytic solution, and comparison of the Sierra/SM code results to the analytic solution is provided. Mesh convergence is also checked on a nightly basis for several of these tests. This document can be used to confirm that a given code capability is verified or referenced as a compilation of example problems. Additional example problems are provided in the Sierra/SM Example Problems Manual. Note, many other verification tests exist in the Sierra/SM test suite, but have not yet been included in this manual.

Sierra/SolidMechanics 4.52 Example Problems Manual
Presented in this document are tests that exist in the Sierra/SolidMechanics example problem suite, which is a subset of the Sierra/SM regression and performance test suite. These examples showcase common and advanced code capabilities. A wide variety of other regression and verification tests exist in the Sierra/SM test suite that are not included in this manual.

Sierra/SolidMechanics 4.52 Theory Manual
Presented in this document are the theoretical aspects of capabilities contained in the Sierra/SM code. This manuscript serves as an ideal starting point for understanding the theoretical foundations of the code. For a comprehensive study of these capabilities, the reader is encouraged to explore the many references to scientific articles and textbooks contained in this manual. It is important to point out that some capabilities are still in development and may not be presented in this document. Further updates to this manuscript will be made as these capabilities come closer to production level.

NimbleSM
NimbleSM is a Lagrangian finite-element code for solid mechanics. Its primary application is the solution of mechanics problems on nonuniform, three-dimensional meshes using either explicit transient dynamic or implicit quasi-static time integration. Additional features include multiscale modeling and the simulation of contact. The NimbleSM code base is designed for performance portability across varying hardware architectures.
